Chapter 88: Preliminary Consensus Reached
Zhu Fengnian came to Liu Jianping's bedroom, saw Liu Jianping revising the novel, and said with a smile: "Busy?" ā
"Nonsense. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Liu Jianping turned his head and looked at Zhu Fengnian a few times, and asked with a smile, "It's the shareholders of QD who want to buy the domain name, right?" ā
"That's right." Zhu Fengnian said and sat on Liu Jianping's bed, "It's BJF." ā
"Oh!" Liu Jianping nodded with a smile, "What is the other party's attitude after knowing our thoughts?" ā
"I haven't said anything yet, I feel that as long as we don't value the market value of QD too low, this website will get shareholders and will accept your investment in shares."
"Not low...... Liu Jianping groaned and asked with a smile, "How much do you think the market value of this website is appropriate?" ā
"Tell me what you think first."
"The market value is 470,000, the Larry domain name in your hand, the price is 15,000, I invest 250,000, I get one-third, that is, 33.33% of the shares, you take the domain name in exchange for 2% of the shares...... You say, will the other party agree? ā
"470,000 ......" Zhu Fengnian thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I feel a little less, but we have reached a strategic partnership between Haoshu.com and QD, and QD.com has gained more benefits...... If you insist on a higher proportion of channel fees charged by Haoshu.com, the shareholders of QD.com may not agree. ā
"Do you think the channel fee should be the same?"
"Not all signed works are put on the other party's website for sale, and I think the channel fee is the same, so it doesn't matter much. Perhaps before, QD's shareholders began to think about learning from our good book network, not charging readers membership fees, but participating in the subscription of VIP works. ā
"Not necessarily." Liu Jianping shook his head with a smile, "The charging methods of Good Books and QD have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it may be that for many authors, cooperating with QD can make more money." ā
"Hearing you say this, I'm a little worried, after the cooperation between Good Books and QD, QD.com will catch up."
"To tell you the truth, I have such concerns, but weighing the pros and cons, I think the benefits of cooperation between the two sides are greater."
Liu Jianping thought for a moment and continued: "If QD.com does not change the way readers pay for subscription, the proportion of channel fees charged by both parties must not be the same, otherwise, we will suffer too much." ā
"Why don't you give BJF a call and talk to him?"
"There's no hurry. Whether we can cooperate or not, the impact on us is not great, it is different for QD, the cooperation may be successful, "Shenglong Road", "Beast Blood Boiling" and other popular works on the QD network shelves, the number of paying users of QD network will increase rapidly. ā
"Then wait for the other party to call."
"Next time, the shareholders of QD call over, you can value my market value of QD.com - 470,000, also, the domain name is priced at 30,000, I want to invest 250,000, and I have obtained the corresponding share ratio, you can say it, as for how the two websites cooperate, you can talk about it in detail."
"The market value valuation of QD.com can't be too high, and your investment amount can't be reduced?"
"It's better to do this, if the market value is a little higher, my investment amount is also a little higher, and the shareholding ratio remains the same, which is not a big problem."
"I hope the other party will accept your offer."
"Hope." Liu Jianping laughed, "Of course I hope so!" ā
"It's okay, I won't bother you writing novels." Zhu Fengnian stood up with a smile, "I flashed!" ā
When Zhu Fengnian left the bedroom, he closed the door with his hand.
Liu Jianping raised his hands, stretched them out to the back of his head, crossed his fingers, hugged the back of his head, and muttered in his heart.
"I hope to be able to take a stake in QD, if it is successful, in the future, QD will be acquired by SD Network Company, then for a long time, I am not short of money...... Neither is it. Even if QD can sell for 20 million, I only have one-third of the shares, and after paying 20% income tax, it will only be a little more than 5 million. After the creation of Kaixin.com, you need to burn a lot of money, it would be good to be able to hold on for half a year, and after half a year, you can start the first round of financing......"
After thinking for a while, Liu Jianping put down his hands and pressed them on the keyboard, ready to revise the novel, but suddenly he had no such thoughts.
"Let's take a look at the new books and dig out more online writers who can become famous in the future."
Liu Jianping logged on to the backstage of the good book network and took a look at the title of the recently updated work, as well as the corresponding author's pen name.
After reading more than 30 titles and the author's pen name, Liu Jianping didn't find anything, and suddenly he saw the title of the book "Nuwa World", as well as the author's pen name Ao Impermanence, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Another platinum writer."
Liu Jianping snickered secretly, opened the book "Nuwa World", and began to read the two chapters that had been updated.
"It's okay, it's not a problem to sign a contract, buy out...... It feels a little worse. ā
Liu Jianping pondered for a moment, checked the background information of the author's account, copied the QQ number, and added the other party as a friend.
Less than two minutes later, Liu Jianping saw that Ao Wuchang had added him as a friend.
"Young Master Liu, the real body?"
Seeing the arrogant question, Liu Jianping smiled and replied, "Transform into an external clone." ā
"Are you the webmaster of the Good Book Network?"
"Yes."
"Really?"
"What are you lying to, do you want me to take a picture of the background of the author's account?"
"No, no. Hehe, you added it as a friend, do you think "Nuwa World" can be signed? ā
"It's not a big problem to sign a contract."
"You're not going to want to buy out half of the rights to this novel, are you?"
Liu Jianping asked resignedly, "Is it okay?" ā
"Of course."
"Let's not talk about the buyout, how many manuscripts have you saved for this novel?"
"I didn't save many manuscripts."
"Is there an outline?"
"I didn't write an outline, but I had it in my head."
"You should change the paragraph first, you save more manuscripts, write out the outline, write it out, send it to me to see, the possibility of buying out is still very high."
"How many drafts do you have to read before you decide whether to buy it out or not?"
"The beginning of the text is 40,000 words, and the outline is 1,000 or 2,000 words. May I? ā
"No problem. Hehe, that, even if you can't buy it out, you can sign a contract, right? ā
"As I said just now, signing a contract is not a big problem, if you want to sign a contract, you can sign a contract now."
"I'd better save more manuscripts, I still hope to be able to sell half of the copyright."
"How many words are you going to write in this book?"
"If it's an ordinary share contract, it depends on the subscription results, if the results are not good, you may stick to it, but you can't hold on for too long, and you will choose to be bad/finished. If Haoshu.com could buy out half of the copyright and have a guaranteed income, I would definitely write well, let alone write a million words. ā
"It's good if you have an idea, you can write it well, write it, send me the manuscript, and after I read it, we will talk about signing the contract."
"Okay. Thanks, don't bother you. ā
"Bye-bye!"
On this afternoon, Liu Jianping added the QQ of Mr. Lin, one of the founders of QD, and the two chatted on QQ for more than half an hour.
Liu Jianping invested 250,000 yuan in QD and obtained 33.33% of the shares, and Zhu Fengnian sold the QD domain name to QD and obtained 2% of the shares...... This is Liu Jianping's bottom line, as for the cooperation between the two websites of QD.com and Haoshu.com, this is some talk, but it is certainly not all the VIP works on the shelves to each other's sales channels.
After the conversation, the five founders who hold QD shares, you say a word, I talk about it word by word.
Mr. Shang muttered: "Isn't 35.33 percent of the shares too much?" ā
Mr. Wu frowned and said: "It's not a matter of the number of shares, it's that the market value of our website is too low, 470,000, the one surnamed Liu, when we are asking for food." ā
Mr. Hou smiled: "I think, if the good book network will "Beast Blood Boiling", "Shenglong Road" and other popular works on the QD network sales, the valuation of the QD network is lower, the relationship is not big, as long as these popular works help, we lower the threshold for readers to become high-level VIP, then our website is very likely to catch up, although it can not immediately surpass the good book network, but can ensure that our website and the HJ book league distance......"
"35.33 percent of the shares, I also think it's too much." Mr. Shang said in a deep voice, "If one of us reaches a consensus with the surname Liu, then he may be able to control the QD network." ā
Mr. Wu looked around at the four partners and said with a smile: "We have known each other for a long time, and now we should not be suspicious of each other, we should think about it, whether to accept Liu Gongzi, hehe, this person is a cow, the screen name is quite domineering...... Let's discuss whether or not to accept his investment. ā
Mr. Hou said: "As long as the cooperation between the two websites can be reached and is beneficial to our website, I think we can accept the investment ......."
After some negotiations, the five voted to accept Liu Gongzi's investment, provided that the cooperation between the two websites and QD should get enough benefits.
